Miami Traditions: Alumni Weekend

This Saturday was the Alumni Weekend Picnic. My role on this day was to support Karen Recker, the associate director of housing and dinning here at Miami University, with crisis management throughout the day. Overall it was a great day and everything went off without a hitch, even the rain held off until the very end!

The picnic began with a parade as all of the guests arrived...

Each tent was set for the different graduation classes.

And even the Miami mascot, the Red Hawk showed up to enjoy the festivities!

Lastly, a feature of another Miami tradition, which is giving houses occupied by students clever names. It is a long held tradition that still goes on today. It certainly is fun to drive around town and read all the names of the houses!
